Introduction

This guide helps you play Leona as the perfect Support/Tank.

Items

The Heart of Gold and Philosopher's Stone help you get gold in begin game and can later be transformed into 2 very useful items.

Shurelya's Reverie & Locket of the Iron Solari help you keep your team alive by acitvating them on the right time. I recommend placing them on your 1 and 2 keys for easy access. Also these items give you bonus health and health regen.

Aegis of Legion is great for that AoE buff and helps to keep your team alive.

Finally the Rylai and Abyssal to make Leona extra tanky and powerful. Also Rylai's slow is pretty useful during team figths to keep the enemy team form escaping and scattering.

Creeping / Jungling

As you are playing Leona as a support and tank you are not supposed to take too many minions from your lane partner who will probably be the ad carry in the bot lane. You will get your money from the assists/kills you will be making and the money over time items from the item build. So instead of farming too much of the minions, try harassing and stunning the enemy champions as much as you can. Also your heal ability will be a big help laning.

Team Work

As Leona you will want to start battles/engage. For Leona to do this you can use your E ability to get close and use your Q ability to stun them.

Another way to engage for your team, is to use your ultimate and then your E and Q but I only recommend this if you are able to hit more than one champion.

For the rest you need to have you shield up whenever you can in team fights because it will give you a massive boost in defense and it does some nice AoE damage. (With the Rylai's it is even a nice slow.)

Try to use your Activate Items and heal spell at appriopriate times in order to save your teammates and yourself.
